There’s no way of getting around it, wildlife is here to stay in our cities. We’re never going to trap and take away all the wild animals around our homes so the best way to prevent future wildlife entry is by wildlife-proofing your home.
Skedaddle combines over 30 years of know-how with the highest quality materials, such as galvanized steel screen and our own wildlife exclusion silicone sealant, to keep wildlife on the outside. By securing your home against wildlife entry you can protect your family and most valuable asset from future infestation.
HOW DO ANIMALS GET IN?
During our initial property assessment we make it a priority to identify all active or potential points of wildlife entry around your home. Each home is different, with their own sets of vulnerabilities depending on how the home is constructed and the type and condition of the materials used.
Visiting countless homes over 30 years has given us the ability to recognize signs of wildlife activity and vulnerable areas that can be inviting to critters. Understanding the behaviour and capabilities of raccoons, skunks, squirrels, birds, bats and mice helps us know where to look and what to look for.
Our technicians take the time to perform detailed, top to bottom inspection in search of clues that can be easily overlooked by those without experience. In many cases it’s the tiniest of chew marks or a trace of fur that can give away an entry.
PROTECTING YOUR HOME FROM FUTURE DAMAGE
Once we’ve identified the areas that need protection, our technicians roll up their sleeves and begin the hard work of keeping animals out. We go where the animals go to install physical barriers. In many cases this process involves climbing ladders and scaling roofs. Our technicians are trained in roof and ladder safety and employ industry leading health and safety equipment to protect themselves and our clients.
We secure openings for vents, reinforce aluminium soffit and flashing and protect exposed wood from chewing. Our tools of the trade most often include heavy gauge galvanized steel screening that cannot be chewed through or destroyed by wildlife. Skilled technicians expertly install these barriers over vulnerable openings or vents with attention to detail and aesthetics.
For smaller animals, such as mice and bats, we must seal tiny cracks and crevices on the outside of the home using our wildlife exclusion sealant. It’s designed to withstand harsh weather and won’t crack or shrink as your house expands and contracts through the seasons. The key here is an eye for detail as mice and bats can slip into holes as small as the size of a dime.
Our technicians understand the strength and persistence of urban animals and the level of care needed to keep them out. Let us wildlife-proof your home and give you the peace of mind of knowing your family and home are protected for the future.
